arkansas playing host to the louisiana lafayette raging cajuns. the 2014 arkansas senate race is not on many people's minds right now. there was still some pretty important news that happened there this week. that news is republicans have a candidate. tom cotton is his name. he's a very conservative freshman republican congressman. he's 36 years old. he has two degrees from harvard, served in iraq and afghanistan. now he's going to run for the senate against the democratic incumbent mark pryor. why is this important? because this is a race that republicans absolutely have to win if they're going to take back the senate next year. right now democrats hold a 54-46 advantage in the chamber. that advantage is going to grow to 55-45 when cory booker is elected in new jersey, barring an act of god. that means republicans will need a net gain of 26 seats in 2014. you don't get much riper than arkansas. this is a state that voted for mitt romney by 24 points. there is no democratic incumbent running in 2014 who will face a more obama-phobic electorate. a
